Portstown & Turtle Creek

Looks nice! I've been busy with a billion other projects and haven't gotten to the SD38 and SD40 yet, but I will eventually. Right now I've made my main project building a C32-8 for trainz. In my fake version of history, the A&SE purchased 8 from NS. Another one went off to Brazil. That's 9 out of 10. Would you like the last one?

Thanks guys! And Southern the P&TC isn't really big enough for C32s.

The P&TC has been so busy lately and with the breakdown of both SW1200s, the Alcos have been regulated to yard service for the time being, heck they don't even have road numbers yet!

You have alco's and are running 6000 horses on your coal drags, which the C32-8 would be perfect for. One C32-8 and one other unit. The route looks awesome, keep it up!!!!

May I ask what your using in the bacground for trees, I know its on the R&N route but I can really download all the deps cause I dont have an FCT.

It's called "Forest spline largeX".

Started a smaller, more manageable version of the P&TC, this time it will be more model railroad themed.

Not a whole lot to look at so far haha

 

[Southern1581]

You start over too dang often! XD Looks cool so far.

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Yeah I can't really seem to stick with any route lol

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Norfolk Southern owns trackage rights to the P&TC

 

[Southern1581]

Very nice!

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Thanks, I really don't know what do to with the textured areas away from the tracks lol. Like should I just leave them as is or what?

It depends if you like them or not also if you can't stick with one route just ask for help or ideas from someone else for motivation! If you need any help, let me know man!

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Swapped out the grass spines with individual objects, also swapped out Polyfig's trees with JVCs. I think it looks better.

 

[Southern1581]

Sweet! What switches/frogs are you using?

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

I'm using 132# jointed rail (Light Grey High Ballast), rusty in the yard and lightly used on the main. NS37 makes the frogs. They can both be found on the DLS. The track is pretty high poly though haha. The fps drops from about 130 to 45 in the yard haha

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Not on the same route lol. :hehe: But still Portstown & Turtle Creek. Maybe this will be like a mining branch or something haha

 

[Southern1581]

Whoa, too awesome!!!! :udrool:

 

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

Thanks man, I think I like modeling fall more now haha. Does it look right to you? Like color wise?

 

[Southern1581]

Don't think you could do much better. Looks amazing!
